[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 703325, member: 18958"] Jodie. Let me get out my violin to acknowledge son's pity party. OK. Done. He got him there. Let him stew in his juices. Let him enjoy his own company and learn what is integrity and commitment and gratitude. Leave you out of it. I would not allow myself to be touched by his negativity, blame, or toxicity. He has to drain his own swamp. Nobody else is responsible. Until he can learn to treat you with the kindness, consideration, respect and love you deserve--you can love him from a distance. You set the terms here, not him. Let him flounder and determine just where his power lies. But over you, no. Not at all. Not one bit. Over. Done with. Let the relationship begin again on your own terms. Let him find terms to exert over himself. [/QUOTE]
